Karun's double century extends India's lead

December 19, 2016 15:18

India 633-6 (174 ovs) vs England 477 | Scorecard

Karun gets another lifeline and again the unfortunate bowler is Jake Ball. Karun was dropped by Cook in the slips on 38 and he made England pay big time with a double century and he is put down again by Root in the same position on 218.

Karun is seeing the ball the size of a football at the moment. Broad tries a bouncer as Karun goes low and ramps it over the keeper and the timing is so good that it carries all the way over the fence for a six, to take his score to 225.

England giving Jadeja nothing as they employ pacers from both ends, bowling short balls at his body.

India's overall lead is over 150 runs now, with 24 overs left in the day.
